THE SUITS AGAINST THE CITY FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE DROUTH. We have received a pamphlet copy of an 'Opinion of counsel on the liabilities of the City of Philadelphia to the Schuylkill Navi gation Company, and to Boatmen and Ship pers, for damages caused by the action of the city in stopping the navigation of Fairmount Tool in Aucmst and September, 180!)." The able lawyers whose names are appended to j this document It. C. McMurtrie and W. Strong do not state by whom they were em ployed, but the conclusions they have reached plainly indicate they are in the service of the Sohuylkill Navigation Company. The law j and the facts, as they expound them, are all : in favor of that corporation. It cannot be j sued, say' the counsel, by boatmen or ship- j pers for damages arising from the delays in : transportation during the drouth; but, on the other hand, the city of Philadelphia is liable j to the boatmen and shippers, individually, as well as to the company. It is even claimed that the 2 1st section of the charter of this corp j- , ration entitles it to recover from -the city i "double the damages" it has sustained; and ' . 1 . ' ' - 11 A 3 I 1 . Til. i " I 1'uiiaaeipnia is mreaieneu nut ouiy wnu mis extortionate demand, but with innumerable suits, based on the opinion that "the ship pers, as well as the boatmen, must resort to the city, and each must sue for himself." Under these circumstances it behoves the City Fathers to see whether a valid defense to this ravenous raid upon the impoverished treasury of a tax-burdened community cannot be discovered. The ablest lawyers should be employed, with instructions to make not only a determined resistance to the proposed de mands, but t& probe to the bottom the pre tensions on which they are based. It may perhaps be found, when the whole subject is considered, that, despite the opinion of the company's lawyers, a million of people have certain rights as riparian proprietors which are not wholly unworthy of the respect of judges and juries. If the city is' to be pushed to the wall, we trust that no defense will be deemed com plete until every point connected with its con tract with the company, and with the allegad rights and privileges of the latter, is tho roughly examined. The whole claim for damages rests on the stoppage of the navigation of Fairmount pool, or that portion of the river embraced between Fairmount dam and the Falls of Schuylkill. It is a curious fact that this por tion of the river was only made navigable by an expenditure on the part of the city, in con structing the Fairmount dam. The munici pal history of this transaction is substantially that when Councils resolved in April, 181'.), to erect water-power works at Fairmount, the Schuylkill Navigation Company had built their canal from Pottsville to the Falls of Schuyl kill, where want of funds had compelled them to stop the work, and that the committee re solved to erect a dam at Fairmount with the design of benefitting the company as well as increasing the water supplies of Philadelphia. They not only extended a helping hand iu this manner, but we are told that they entered into an agreement "for the purchase of the water-power at the Falls of Schuylkill destroyed by backing the water by the ncio dam," and N "also with the Schuylkill Navigation Com pany for the use of the water granted to them by their charter." The city has therefore a double claim to the surplus water supplies of Fairmount pool. She created them by erecting the dam at Fairmount, and bought the right to maintain them by compensating the owners of land adjacent to the falls for . the loss of water-power. If she consented, in an evil hour, to an abridgement of the use of her own property, there is no court in Chris tendom which will not at least lend a willing ear to any plausible excuse or defense she may offer for a temporary violation of her stipulations with the corporation to which she extended generous aid. If the canal company, instead of the city, was the defendant in the proposed suit, it would need no better plea than that which similar corporations have successfully made in this Commonwealth that it should not be held responsible for an act of Providence. When defective canal dams have been swept away by a freshet, carrying ruin on every side, the claimants for damages have been defeated by this potent argument; and it remains to be seen whether the people of a great city will not be declared guiltless for using something more than the prescribed quantum of reserved water supplies, created by their own means, during the providontial prevalence of the most stringent drouth that has ever been known. It is also a legitimate Bubject of inquiry whether the whole theory on which the alleged exclusive rights and privileges of the canal company is based is not fallacious. In some countries, and in some portions of the Union, it would be considered an unwarrantable in fiingoment of the rights of the 'citizens of Philadelphia as riparian proprietors, and it remains to be seen whether the appareut ad vantages derived by the company from judicial decisions and legislation peculiar to this State have an impregnable foundation. It may turn out that the corporation has no right whatever to restrict the city, at any time, from using as much of the water collected at Fairmount dam as she pleases. QWheu the original .contract botwoen the city and the company was made, the amount TOE PAIL? EVKNINQ TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 18C9. of water used by the canal was comparativ j limited, and one of the causes of the occa sional scarcity must be sought in the enlarge ment of the canal without a corresponding increase in its facilities for garnering up water to be used in times of drouth. It is questionable whether the city has not good cause for action against the oompany on this ground. If there is no limit to its powers in this direction, it is diluoult to affix bounds to the injuries it may inflict upon the existing water-works. At one time, we believe, a project was under consideration to construct large reservoirs near the head waters of the Schuylkill, to collect immense bodies of water, sufficient to supply all the necessities of the company as well as the city, in seasons of the greatest scarcity; but this project was abandoned mainly because the co-operation of the company could not be secured. If it can be shown that the com pany is itself in fault, by failing to adopt proper precautions against a drouth, this consideration will tell powerfully in favor of the city, and it will incite the injured boat men and shippers to seek redress from the owners of the canal instead of our over burdened taxpayers. Questions of fact are also likely to arise. What is the exact amount of damage done, if the city is liable ? and was it the action of the city alone that caused a suspension of opera tions m August and September ? Here is a wide field of investigation, and in examining it many points useful to the defense of the municipality may be discovered. MINISTER McMAIION ON LOPEZ. While the bravery of Lopez in defending himself against tremendous odds has won him deserved praise, the outrageous cruelty with which he has been charged has prevented him from having that sympathy that is usu ally accorded to the weakest party in such a contest. Lopez's side of the question, it should be remembered, has not been heard; and although many of the accusations against him appear to be too well substantiated for denial, it is nothing more than fair that he should have the ear of the civilized nations of the world to make such explanations as will exonerate him if possible. General McMahon, our late Minister to Paraguay, is now in Washington, and he speaks in warm terms of praise of the valor and generalship displayed by the Paraguayans, and he condemns many of the actions of the allies. The late Minister to Paroguay represents Lopez to be possessed of rare administrative abilities, and not more cruel in the conduct of the war than the most complaining of the allied generals. This is, of course, very general language, but it is worthy of attention. The London Saturday Review, in a recent notice of Mr. Mastermau's book on Paraguay, remarks that, according to that gentleman's own statements, he and the other English and American residents got themselves into trouble through their own wilful indiscretion, leaving out of the ques tion any criminal intentions on their part. Englishmen, and Americans too, are disposed to treat such people as the Paraguayans as only half-civilized, and as therefore not enti tled to any of the respect that they are com pelled to show towards the governing powers of other nations. An Englishman will deliberately violate law and custom in China, Paraguay, Mexico, and other countries that he chooses to consi der outside the pale of civilization, and con sider himself the aggrieved party if his con duct is resented. He would not dare to attenip t anything of the same kind in France, Ger many, Russia, or the United States, and would receive no sympathy if he did attempt it and got into trouble thereby. But, placed in contact with a race that he esteems to be inferior, "and that possesses but little power or political influence, he does not hesitate to show his contempt for them on every occa sion, and to consider any infringement of his liberty as a national insult. There is a great deal of truth in this, and it is not at all im probable that it furnishes the key to the mys tery that surrounds the conduct of Lopez towards Messrs. Washburn, Masterman, Bliss, and others who fell under his suspicion or displeasure. The accounts furnished with regard to the slaughter by Lopez of some of his own kins men and other Paraguayans are so circum stantial that it is scarcely possible not to credit them, especially as they are in full ac cordance with the traditional Paraguayan policy, and General McMahon will have to be more particular in his explanations before he can relieve Lopez from the odium that now rests upon him. General McMa hon has confidence in the ulti mate triumph of the Paraguayans, and he states that Lopez contemplates the restora tion of prosperity to his country by emigrants from the United States, to whom he will offer inducements by grants of land to settle there. If the future prosperity of Paraguay is to de pend upon emigration from this country, it has but a poor prospect before it. Some dis gusted rebels who would not live under the Government of the United States tried Brazil, and were glad to get back very shortly under the stars and stripes again, and the number who will be tempted by all the acres in Paraguay to put themselves under the rule of a man of Lopez' reputation is excepdingly limited. OUR MINISTERS. Cost of Olplomutlo Nervlce to I lie I'ultrd ntniea. In an editorial on the salaries paid (o our foreign Ministers, the New York Times remarks: Jf we compare the salaries paid to Americ an and EnifllHh loreiRU MlulHters, the contrast will un dmibUMily seem to coniirru demands of the kind which have been commonly attributed lately to Mr. wasliburne. Our Milliliter to Rtinaiu, for example, receives 112,000 a year. The Eii11hIi Minister at the Bimie Court is paid altogether t4.',,00o, ut the gold Btamlurd. The Jtritisli Oovernmeiit also keep up a stair of iecretarleH, each of them well paid, whereas the work at the American Legutiou is done by one. Our Minuter at Medium gets STf.00 a year-the salary of the hiiKlLsli Minister is ti,ooi). For our Austrian I.egatlou we pay a total sum of llit.sui), luclutliua the salary of the Minister.

Tak Persia as a case In point. Kngland keep up at the Ninth's Court a minister, three secretaries, a translator, and a physician, at a total cost of :i,rno. wc keep no oillc ial whatever In that country. Taken as a whole, Knglaud spend a vast sum for her diplomatic s- rvice in itxcess of the expenditures for simitar purposes authorized by our Government. But she Is no better served than we are. When did her foreign Ministers ever prevent a war? The Consuls arc the nieu who do the hsrd work, and they are by no menus IHerall mild. Kwrllsh Mini. ters abroad have hitherto been remunerated on a ; scale which a people's l'nrllameiit. will not aanctlon ; very long. We may expect to see a general enttlng i down of expenses there rather than an increase , here. It has not been proved that our Ministers j are, as a rule, Imiricqtiatcly paid, and It Is no (lis- , parngement to some of them to assert that they would lull to earn an equally largo Income In my other career. The case for raising their salaries has . not been made out, and the pejple arc likely to defer nil further consideration of It until the taxes i are very considerably reduced. j SPECIAL NOTICES. for aititi'tonal Sprctal Notice the tn.irfe WINTER 8 U I T 8 AT JOHN WAXAMAKERS, Nos. 813 and 8J0 CHESNUT Street.
